+name: Request a Robo CTO review
+
+# Robo CTO reviews on `review_requested` for a specific reviewer, so a PR that
+# nobody asks about is never reviewed. Between 2026-09-10 and today that meant
+# only two of nine PRs in this repository entered the pipeline at all, and both
+# of those were requested by hand.
+#
+# This asks on the PR's behalf. It does not review anything itself.
+#
+# Deliberately not `synchronize`: a review per push would burn the credential's
+# rate limit on drafts in progress, and cc-creds rotates precisely because that
+# limit is reachable. Re-request by hand for a fresh review, or remove and
+# re-add the reviewer.
